A Silicon-Carbon Battery Could Have Rescued The iPhone Air

No one ever said, "Geez, my iPhone is too fat; Apple better give me a razor-thin phone next time." Yes, I'm talking about the iPhone Air, Apple's manna for the fashion-obsessed vapid drones.

It is clear that Google's silicon design process has left quite a lot to be desired. Google is now loudly proclaiming its disdain for benchmark tests as the yardstick to measure the success of its silicon design process. Agreed. These tests, after all, do not tell the whole story on their own. But, when you are charging Apple-level prices for a silicon that shows a proclivity for heating up at […]
